This book is an account of my childhood years, six of which happened during WWII. Most of the books of that period deal with the Holocaust and other atrocities perpetrated by Hitler and his henchmen in Europe. While this tragedy was occurring in Europe, mainly in Poland, a different scenario was taking place thousands of miles away in the Taiga of Siberia, both involving Polish Jews. Soviet gulags are well-known, and so is Stalin's regime, which finally collapsed in 1989. This is an account of my family and I's struggle for survival during that bloody period in history.
